Play the Original!

This particular amp was the second one off the line of the first run and presented to the current owner by one of the key developers at Carvin. So for those who think the earlier Legacy 212s were the best, it doesn't get any better than this! There are not a lot of these early 212s floating around out there. Don't miss this chance to add this killer combo to your collection... for about one-half of what a new one costs!

The Personal Touch

Steve Worked very closely with Carvin Engineering to develop the sound and look of the Legacy Amplifiers from the choice of EL34 tubes to the Celestion™ Vintage 30 speakers. His involvment with Carvin goes back to the early 1980's when Steve played the Carvin X100B amp as a member of Frank Zappa's band. Discussions of the possibility of a signature amp had been ongoing for several years. Finally, Vai's and Carvin's schedules allowed for serious work on a new amp project. Exhaustive listening tests of various tube and electronic circuits were performed by Steve. He also tested dozens of enclosures loaded with various vintage speakers. His ear kept coming back to the Celestion™ speakers. After final approval of the amp and speakers, Steve then put his focus on the styling of the Legacy. His personal touches include the classic color scheme and his personal anagram logo on the nameplate.
